Flash Drives on the Go with Ford’s USB Music Box
Face it, if your car is an older model that’s not equipped with a USB port, your music options are limited to your CD player or your MP3 player connected by clunky adapters and cables that are more of a distraction than entertainment. As a result, Ford has come up with a solution for some customers with a selection of older model vehicles.
Called the USB Music Box, this car gadget is compatible with your flash drives, smartphones and MP3 players thanks to a USB socket that seamlessly fits into the interior design of the car. Put it in the center console, the glove compartment and more. Your music files are accessed through the car’s auxiliary stereo while track selections are made from remote controls that are placed on the steering wheel. According to Ford, setup and configuration is simple and takes less than an hour.

Custom USB Drives Available Here During Chinese New Year!
The Chinese New Year affects the custom USB flash drive industry in a big way. As a premier manufacturer and supplier for USB flash drives, the Asian country’s celebrations of festivals, feasts and fireworks essentially shut down all production. The snowball effect that ensues causes a USB supply crunch. Not only does this put a huge lag in turn time from lack of production, but it also creates a backlog where customers have to wait even longer post-holiday.
The upcoming New Year (the Year of the Dragon) for the Chinese calendar starts on January 23, 2012. However, the nationwide factory shutdown is expected to last approximately three weeks. Factories stop taking orders a few weeks out as well so that they can fulfill all of them. Consequently—not including the post holiday backorder—expect to be in the dark from approximately January 6th through February 4th.
